Conclusion: Unsee and Unforget

Abstract

In the concluding chapter, the author brings together different layers of the argument concerning the discussion on the legacies, the overlaps, and the dissonances of late-socialist cultural subvertia and post-socialist nostalgia. Doing so, he proposes to approach the affectivity of post-socialist dealings with the past within the framework of the reassembling of the historical and the quest for lost normalcy. These tactics are seen as crucial tenets in devising liveable lives in networked lifeworlds. This approach is situated within the entanglement of individuals and users with the culture of the past and the incapacitated future.
